Sydney Marovitz's golf shop doubles as brilliant Chicago observatory

By: Aaron Konold

Waveland Park has always been home
to Sydney Marovitz Golf Course, a Chicago Park District golf course sitting on
the shores of Lake Michigan, blocks from downtown.

The park is also home to the historical
Waveland Fieldhouse, which now serves as the course's golf shop. Built in 1931, the fieldhouse has stood on
the shores of Lake Michigan for 83 years while the city has taken shape around
it. The Wolford Clock Tower, the
signature architectural feat of the eight-decade-old building dominates the
landscape of the park, where tens of thousands runners and cars pass by
everyday on Lakeshore Drive and its accompanying running trails.

What the millions of people who see the
Waveland Fieldhouse and Wolford Clock Tower don’t see, however, is the view
from the Tower, until now. We recently
ascended the Tower to see the views of the golf course, Lake Michigan and
Wrigley Field. What we saw didn’t
disappoint, and it unquestionably leaves Sydney Marovitz the right to brag
about one of the best golf shops in the game of golf.
